Picard groups of normal surfaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the fixed singularities imposed on members of a linear system of surfaces in P^3_C by its base locus Z. For a 1-dimensional subscheme Z subset P^3 with finitely many points p_i of embedding dimension three and d >> 0, we determine the nature of the singularities p_i in S for general S in |H^0 (P^3, I_Z (d))| and give a method to compute the kernel of the restriction map Cl S o Cl O_{S,p_i}. One tool developed is an algorithm to identify the type of an A_n singularity via its local equation. We illustrate the method for representative Z and use Noether-Lefschetz theory to compute Pic S.
